  • effect of topically applied 2 pilocarpine and 0 25 Demecarium bromide on blood aqueous barrier permeability in dogs
    American Journal of Veterinary Research, 1994
    Co-Authors: Sheryl G Krohne
    Abstract:

    The effect of topically applied 2% pilocarpine and 0.25% Demecarium bromide on aqueous humor flare was evaluated while treating normal eyes of dogs 3 times daily for 8 days. Fifteen clinically normal Beagles were allotted to 2 drug treatment groups, and flare was measured, using laser flaremetry. Pilocarpine caused an increase of flare to 167 photon counts (pc)/ms at 7 hours, compared with the nontreated control eye mean value 3.7 pc/ms. By 31 hours, flare had decreased to 70 pc/ms with 3 daily topical treatments. By 55 hours, the flare measurement was in the normal range. Intraocular pressure (IOP) decreased in the treated eyes, compared with the non-treated eyes, and maximal decrease in IOP was observed at the same time as maximal flare. Demecarium induced a similar increase in flare and decrease in IOP, with peak effect seen at 31 hours. At that time, the flaremetry result was 28 pc/ms, compared with 3.4 pc/ms in the nontreated control eyes. After 8 days of 3 times daily treatment, flare values had returned to normal in eyes of dogs in both treatment groups. The transient increase in aqueous humor protein concentration did not result in ocular or visual damage, and long-term changes were not seen. The amount of flare increase attributable to topical application of pilocarpine was greater than the increase in human eyes when measured by use of laser flaremetry.

  • outcomes of nonsurgical management and efficacy of Demecarium bromide treatment for primary lens instability in dogs 34 cases 1990 2004
    Javma-journal of The American Veterinary Medical Association, 2007
    Co-Authors: Daniel R Binder, Ian P Herring, Tobias Gerhard
    Abstract:

    Objective—To determine outcome of initial conservative management for primary lens luxation and evaluate topically administered Demecarium bromide miotic treatment for prevention of anterior lens luxation, glaucoma, and vision loss in dogs. Design—Retrospective case series. Animals—34 dogs with primary lens luxation. Procedures—Medical records of affected dogs were reviewed for times to anterior luxation, luxation of the lens in the opposite eye, development of glaucoma, and vision loss. Results—At 4 to 6 weeks and at 3 months after diagnosis of lens instability (subluxation or posterior luxation), 100% (34/34 and 29/29, respectively) of conservatively managed eyes retained vision. At 1 year after diagnosis of lens instability, 80% (16/20) of conservatively managed eyes retained vision, and at 2 years after diagnosis of lens instability, 11 of 19 conservatively treated eyes retained vision. The only significant effect of miotic treatment was to delay anterior lens luxation in eyes with lens instability. M...
